Basic Setup Kit

About This Item

Make any guitar play better.

We're often asked to recommend "must-have" tools for setting up guitars. So we've made it easy: the Basic Setup Kit features our most popular setup tools. These are the same super-accurate, high quality steel setup tools that professional repair shops depend on.

Includes

String Action Gauge (inches): The fastest way to measure the height of strings, nuts, saddles and pickup polepieces. Designed for stringed instrument work, it's much faster to use than any ruler.

Understring Radius Gauges : A big help for matching bridge saddle heights to the fretboard curvature, for easier playability. Accurately laser-cut from stainless steel, the set includes 9 different fretboard radii.

Free Instructions : Erick Coleman walks you through basic setup instructions to have your guitar playing great in no time.

Truss rod adjustment is an important part of guitar setup, too.
Our Truss Rod Wrench Set has the tool you need.

100% Satisifed

Great Setup Kit and company. Ordered on Sunday and arrived here in Canada on Tuesday! Never been much for setting relief by sighting down the neck. Within a couple of minutes of having the straightedge I was able to make the required adjustment with confidence. Even better was the improved playability of the neck. Just a minor tweak, but it made a huge improvement. I just wish I hadn't procrastinated so long.

Changed my entire approach to guitar setups

This is probably the best $100 I've spent on tools in some time. The basic setup kit and some reading about proper neck relief changed my approach to and process of setting up guitars. In my case it led to setups that were more playable and more consistent. Now I can measure and understand why some guitars are playing poorly, and my setup process is repeatable and the results can be checked quantitatively. I was turned on to the string height gauge by Gary Brawer in San Francisco, one of the best repair shops in the Bay Area, now I'm paying it forward to you. If you can't afford the entire set, then buy the string height gauge and the string curvature set separately.

Quality Tools that help me rock!

Moved home (to Kansas) from Nashville where I had the pick of the litter of guitar wizards. Now that I'm in Kansas not so much! I searched for a good tech, had a setup done by a guy that was suggested by other guitar slingers and was disappointed. Decided to take matters into my own hands. I've done 3 set-ups and have my axes playing like buttuh!
